MAGAZINE ATTACHMENT FOR STOVES.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, HUGH A. STORER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alton, in the county of Osborne and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Magazine Attachments for Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

rI`his invention relates to a magazine attachment for heating stoves for broeders and the like, the principal object of the invention being to provide a simple and effective device for holding a large supply of coal and automatically filling it to the stove so that the stove will supply an even heat to the broeder with but very little attention.

Another obj ect of the invention is to provide means whereby the device may be adjustably supported on the stove.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a view of my attachment for use upon a stove.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the attachment and its supporting means.

Figs. 3 and 4 are views of the supporting means.

Fig. 5 is a view of a modification.

l indicates a stove which is provided with the usual filling opening 2 in its top and the stove pipe 3 is also connected with the top of the stove. In carrying out my invention I provide a magazine 4 of cylindrical shape which is of a diameter to pass through said opening 2, and is of a length to hold a considerable quantity of coal. The lower portion of the magazine extends within the stove while the upper part extends parallel to the lower portion of the stove pipe. This upper portion is connected with the stove lSpecification of Letters Patent.

pipe by the double clamping ring 5 which has a portion engaging the magazine and another portion engaging the stove pipe, the two portions being clamped to the magazine and pipe by the bolt 6.

The depth to which the magazine extends within the stove may be adjusted by a split collar 7 made of angle iron and having its ends perforated to receive the bolt 8 so that the collar may be clamped to the magazine. The collar resting upon the stove top will act as a stop for the magazine as will be understood. rIhe upper end of the magazine is closed by a removable cap 9.

It will thus be seen that when the magazine is placed in position and filled with coal, this coal will automatically feed into the stove as the coal within the stove is being consumed, thus keeping the stove supplied with coal for a long time without any attention on the part of the operator. By my invention there is no danger of smothering the fire by putting on a fresh supply of coal.

In the modification shown in Fig. 5 at 4; the magazine is made of tapered shape so as to facilitate the feeding of the coal. The large lower end of this magazine must be made of less diameter than the opening in the stove so that it may pass through said opening. The space between the magazine and the walls of the opening will be covered by the split collar.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

l/V hat I claim is A magazine attachment for stoves comprising a tubular body adapted to extend through an opening in a stove, a collar clamped on the body and engaging the stove top for limiting the distance the magazine extends within the stove, a double clamping ring for clamping the upper portion of the magazine to a stcve pipe and a cover for the upper end of the magazine.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
